| Franklinia axillaris: Common Names Gordonia or Fried Egg Plant. Dichorisandra thyrsiflora : Common Name Blue Ginger Pachystachys lutea: Common names Golden Candles or Shrimp Plant Globba winitii.: Common Name Dancing Lady that's two plants I know by that common name Amaranthus tricolour: Common Name Joseph's Coat. Strelitzia Yellow Looks like the Costus productus I grow Not quite sure if the names are right or the spelling, as most plants at the Park had no names on them. I had to look everything up in a book first | |

| All so pretty. I would love to get pachystachys here... they are easy to grow but need too much water... actually love to have most of them. That Globba is the same as the one I liked on Gwen's post though the colour looks slightly different. | |
